To quote from a web-site on the subject, "Auburn, Indiana was once a center of a thriving automobile industry. The Auburn Automobile Company produced three of the most beautiful cars ever designed, the Auburn, the Cord, and the Duesenberg." Only replicas are built today. Because of that, I think a modern Morgan with its wood chassis and bugs-in-the-teeth retro flair is the perfect automotive analog to an M6. Now if my M6 was a vegetable, what kind of vegetable would it be? Paul >-----Original Message----- >From: B. D.
